Open AccessNuclear localization of beta-catenin involved in precancerous change in oral leukoplakia
Oral leukoplakia is a precancerous change developed in the oral mucosa, and the mechanism that oral leukoplakia becomes malignant through atypical epithelium is not known. Here we compared the β-catenin expres...

Immunosuppressant FK506 Induces Neurite Outgrowth in PC12 Mutant Cells with Impaired NGF-Promoted Neuritogenesis via a Novel MAP Kinase Signaling Pathway
We obtained a drug-hypersensitive PC12 mutant cell (PC12m3), in which neurite outgrowth was strongly stimulated by various drugs such as FK506, calcimycin and cAMP, under the condition of NGF treatment. The fr...

Paraquat-induced gene expression in rat lung tissues using a differential display reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
Increased formation of reactive oxygen species is a cause of paraquat (PQ)-induced injury and also provides a link between the signaling pathways and transcriptional events that regulate the expression of a l...
