- Abstract:
- ... An Fab’ antibody against heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) was applied to achieve advanced tumor-targeted delivery of siRNA. Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) encapsulating siRNA (LNP-siRNA) were prepared, pegylated, and surface modified with Fab’ fragments of anti-HB-EGF antibody (αHB-EGF LNP-siRNA). αHB-EGF LNP-siRNA showed high-binding affinity to recombinant human HB- ...

- Abstract:
- ... Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been reported to prevent neuronal cell death caused by certain stimuli. Accordingly, the molecular features of MANF have been intensively investigated since the reporting of its cytoprotective actions. In addition to the characterization of the transcriptional regulation of MANF under pathophysiological conditions, it is important to u ...

- Abstract:
- ... HCA587, also known as MAGE-C2, belonging to the MAGE gene family which is characterized by a conserved MAGE Homology Domain, is active in various types of tumors and silent in normal tissues except in male germ-line cells. The biological function of HCA587 is largely unknown. To analyze it, we attempted to identify protein partners of HCA587. We immunopurified HCA587-containing complex from HEK293 ...

- Abstract:
- ... The human oncogene SCL/TAL1 interrupting locus (Stil) is highly conserved in all vertebrate species. In humans, the expression of Stil is involved in cancer cell survival, apoptosis and proliferation. In this research, we investigated the roles of Stil expression in cell proliferation of mammalian dopaminergic (DA) PC12 cells. Stil functions through the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signal transduction pat ...

Extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and regulates a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, necrosis, apoptosis and degeneration. However, the expression of ERK5 and its role in degenerated human nucleus pulposus (NP) is hitherto unknown. In this study, we observed the differential expre ...

DMGDH is a flavin containing enzyme which catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of dimethylglycine in vitro with the formation of sarcosine (N-methylglycine), hydrogen peroxide and formaldehyde. DMGDH binds tetrahydrofolate (THF) in vivo, ...

- Abstract:
- ... Salmonella enterica is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes gastroenteritis, bacteremia and typhoid fever in several animal species including humans. Its virulence is greatly dependent on two type III secretion systems, encoded in pathogenicity islands 1 and 2. These systems translocate proteins called effectors into eukaryotic host cell. Effectors interfere with host signal transduction pathways ...

Many studies have attempted to identify factors that could increase neuroprotection after axotomy of these cells. Interleukin-6 has been shown to be able to increase the survival and regeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in mixed culture as well as in vivo. In this work we show t ...

We previously identified hepatoma-derived growth factor-related protein-3 (HRP-3) as a radioresistant biomarker in p53 wild-type A549 cells and found that p53-dependent induction of the PUMA pathway was a critical event in regulating the radioresistant phenotype. Here, we found that HRP-3 knockdown regulates the radioresistance of p53-null H1299 cells through a distinctly different molecular mecha ...

P66Shc is a well-known determinant of cellular and organismal oxidative stress. However, its role in platelet biology is not known. We hypothesized that p66Shc mediates platelet hyperactivation and hyperaggregation in hypercholester ...

The polyglutamine expansion in Ataxin-1 (ATXN1) is responsible for SCA1 pathology. ATXN1 forms at least two distinct complexes with Capicua (CIC) or RNA-binding motif protein 17 (RBM17). The wild-type ATXN1 dominantly forms a complex with CIC and the polyglutami ...
