In Southern blot analysis using Mycoplasma16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) as a probe, positive signals were detected in DNA samples from surgical specimens of gastric cancers. The DNA that hybridized to Mycoplasma 16S rDNA was eluted from the gel, cloned and sequenced. The cloned sequence was identical to 16S rDNA of Streptococcus...... hiện toàn bộ
Soluble Interleukin‐6 Receptor Is Released from Receptor‐bearing Cell Linesin vitroWiley - Tập 83 Số 4 - Trang 373-378 - 1992

Soluble interleukin‐6 receptor (sIL‐6R) was found to be spontaneously released from human myeloma cell line U266 cells into culture supernatant, and was quantitatively measured with a fluorescence sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay employing antibodies specific to IL‐6R. The supernatant IL‐6R was generated only from IL‐6R‐positive cell lines; myeloma cell lines RPMI8226 and RPMI178...... hiện toàn bộ
CELL‐LINE SPECIFIC ACTIVATION OF SV40 TRANSCRIPTIONAL ENHANCER BY p40tax OF HTLV‐1Wiley - Tập 79 Số 7 - Trang 800-804 - 1988
Jun‐ichi Fujisawa, Motoharu Seiki, M Toita, Shoichiro Miyatake, Ken‐ichi Arai, Mitsuaki Yoshida
A transcriptional trans‐activator P40tax of HTLV‐1 was reported to activate HTLV‐1 enhancer, but not SV40 or Rous sarcoma virus enhancer. However, in certain cell lines, we found that SV40 enhancer was activated by p40tax. These cell lines were mostly T cells, where the SV40 enhancer showed only low activity without p40... hiện toàn bộ
Detection and Typing of Multiple Genital Human Papillomaviruses by DNA Amplification with Consensus PrimersWiley - Tập 82 Số 5 - Trang 524-531 - 1991

Many types of human papillomavirus (HPV) are associated with genital lesions. In order to develop simple and sensitive diagnostic procedures for HPV infection, we took advantage of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We compared the published nucleotide sequences of the LI region from six genital HPV types and designed a pair of consensus primers for LI region. The PCR with the consensus ...... hiện toàn bộ
Replication of Hepatitis C Virus in Cultured Non‐neoplastic Human HepatocytesWiley - Tập 87 Số 8 - Trang 787-792 - 1996
Naoya Kato, Nobuyuki Kato, Tetsuya Mizutani, Kazuo Sugiyama, Masayuki Noguchi, S Hirohashi, Kunitada Shimotohno
We established a replication system for hepatitis C virus (HCV) using the PH5CH non‐neoplastic human hepatocyte line that had been immortalized with simian virus 40 large T antigen. In cells inoculated with sera derived from two HCV‐positive blood donors, positive‐stranded HCV RNA was detected up to 30 days postinoculation (p.i.). Semi‐quantitative analysis of HCV RNA revealed that HCV mul...... hiện toàn bộ
Interaction of Interleukin‐1 and Interferon‐γ on Fibroblast Growth Factor‐induced AngiogenesisWiley - Tập 85 Số 5 - Trang 522-529 - 1994

The interaction of interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) and interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) actions on several aspects of angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo was studied. The proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells cultured with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were synergistically inhibited by cotreatment with IL‐1 and IFN‐γ. End...... hiện toàn bộ
Selective Inhibitory Effect of Bufalin on Growth of Human Tumor Cells in vitro: Association with the Induction of Apoptosis in Leukemia HL‐60 CellsWiley - Tập 85 Số 6 - Trang 645-651 - 1994

We found that bufalin, an active principle of the Chinese medicine chan'su, has selective inhibitory effects on the growth of various human cancer cells. In order to examine whether the growth‐inhibitory effect of bufalin on human cancer cells is associated with apoptosis, human leukemia cells were treated with bufalin. HL‐60, ML1, and U937 leukemia cells treated...... hiện toàn bộ
In situ mRNA Hybridization Technique for Analysis of Human Telomerase RNA in Gastric Precancerous and Cancerous LesionsWiley - Tập 89 Số 11 - Trang 1187-1194 - 1998
Toru Hiyama, Hiroshi Yokozaki, Yasuhiko Kitadai, Eiichi Tahara, Hiroko Tahara, Ken Haruma, Wataru Yasui, Goro Kajiyama
Telomerase, the ribonucleoprotein enzyme that elongates telomeres, is repressed in normal somatic cells but is reactivated during tumor progression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the localization of human telomerase RNA (hTR) expression in human gastric precancerous and cancerous lesions by using in situ mRNA hybridization (ISH) with avidin‐biotin ...... hiện toàn bộ
Chemoprevention by Nimesulide, a Selective Cyclooxygenase‐2 Inhibitor, of 2‐Amino‐1‐methyl‐6‐phenylimidazo[4,5‐b]pyridine (PhIP)‐induced Mammary Gland Carcinogenesis in RatsWiley - Tập 91 Số 9 - Trang 886-892 - 2000

Breast cancer is common in women all over the world, and exploration of chemopreventive approaches to this cancer is very important. Nimesulide, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2), is a good candidate as a chemopreventive agent with low toxicity. We examined its effects on mammary tumor development in female Sprague‐Dawley rats induced with the environmental carcinogen 2‐ami...... hiện toàn bộ
