Disruption of CTCF/cohesin-mediated high-order chromatin structures by DNA methylation downregulates PTGS2 expression
The CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)/cohesin complex regulates gene transcription via high-order chromatin organization of the genome. De novo methylation of CpG islands in the promoter region is an epigenetic hallmar...

Open AccessCrosstalk between PKCα and Notch-4 in endocrine-resistant breast cancer cells
The Notch pathway is functionally important in breast cancer. Notch-1 has been reported to maintain an estrogen-independent phenotype in estrogen receptor α (ERα)+ breast cancer cells. Notch-4 expression corre...

Selective activation of Akt1 by mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 regulates cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis
Mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC) regulates a variety of cellular responses including proliferation, growth, differentiation and cell migration. In this study, we show that mammalian target of rapa...

Akt2, but not Akt1, is required for cell survival by inhibiting activation of JNK and p38 after UV irradiation
The serine/threonine protein kinase, Akt/PKB, has an essential function in cell survival during response to various stresses. Recent studies have demonstrated that Akt isoforms exhibit some distinct physiologi...

Notch-1 associates with IKKα and regulates IKK activity in cervical cancer cells
Notch-1 inhibits apoptosis in some transformed cells through incompletely understood mechanisms. Notch-1 can increase nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activity through a variety of mechanisms. Overexpression of ...

Changes in morphology of Paecilomyces japonica and their effect on broth rheology during production of exo-biopolymers
The influence of Paecilomyces japonica pellet morphology on fermentation broth rheology and exo-biopolymer production was investigated in a 5-l jar fermenter. Rapid formation of pellets was observed after the f...

Deformation mechanism map for creep in YBa2Cu3O7−x
A deformation mechanism map with grain size and stress as variables was constructed for creep in YBa2Cu3O7−xat 850 and 950 °C. Theoretical models of Nabarro-Herring, Coble, and power-law creep were used for the c...
