Insulin stimulation of glucose and amino acid transport in mouse fibroblasts with elevated membrane microviscosity
Basal and insulin-stimulated transport of 2-deoxy glucose and of α-aminoisobutyric acid in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts were modulated by increasing the lipid microviscosity of the cell plasma membrane. The kinetics ...

Activation of p53 transcriptional activity by 1,10-phenanthroline, a metal chelator and redox sensitive compound
p53, a tumor suppressor gene, functioning as a transcription factor, has been recently shown in a cell free system to be subject to redox (reduction/oxidation) regulation. Oxidants or metal chelating reagents ...

Induction of apoptosis by Elk-1 and ΔElk-1 proteins
Elk-1, an ets related gene codes for at least two splice variants Elk-1, which regulates c-fos transcription and ΔElk-1, both of which function as transcriptional activators. To investigate the role of Elk-1 and ...

The second BRCT domain of BRCA1 proteins interacts with p53 and stimulates transcription from the p21WAF1/CIP1 promoter
Inherited mutations in the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 are associated with high risk for develo** breast and ovarian cancers. Several studies link BRCA1 to transcriptional regulation,...

c-Fos oncogene regulator Elk-1 interacts with BRCA1 splice variants BRCA1a/1b and enhances BRCA1a/1b-mediated growth suppression in breast cancer cells
Elk-1, a c-Fos protooncogene regulator, which belongs to the ETS-domain family of transcriptional factors, plays an important role in the induction of immediate early gene expression in response to a variety o...

LFIRE-1/HFREP-1, a liver-specific gene, is frequently downregulated and has growth suppressor activity in hepatocellular carcinoma
We have previously identified several novel genes, which are differentially expressed among human normal liver and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). The full-length liver fibrinogen-related gene-1 (LFIRE-1) cDNA ...

BRCA1a has antitumor activity in TN breast, ovarian and prostate cancers
Breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) mutations predispose women to breast and ovarian cancers and men to increased risks for prostate cancer. We have previously showed BRCA1 splice variant BRCA1a/p110 to induce apopto...

Human amnion mesenchymal stem cells promote proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Human amnion mesenchymal stem cells (HAMSCs) can be obtained from human amniotic membrane, a highly abundant and readily available tissue. HAMSC sources present fewer ethical issues, have low immunogenicity, a...

A high-throughput platform for stem cell niche co-cultures and downstream gene expression analysis
Stem cells reside in ‘niches’, where support cells provide critical signalling for tissue renewal. Culture methods mimic niche conditions and support the growth of stem cells in vitro. However, current functional...

The angiogenic variation of skeletal site-specific human BMSCs from same alveolar cleft patients: a comparative study
Tissue engineering strategies hold great potential for alveolar cleft reconstruction. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) from iliac crest and craniofacial regions are candidate seeding cells with site-specific ...

Open AccessPoly(ethylene glycol)-modified silk fibroin membrane as a carrier for limbal epithelial stem cell transplantation in a rabbit LSCD model
Limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) play important roles in corneal epithelial homeostasis and regeneration, and damage to the limbus will lead to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), with conjunctivalization ...

Open AccessSea cucumber genome provides insights into saponin biosynthesis and aestivation regulation
Echinoderms exhibit several fascinating evolutionary innovations that are rarely seen in the animal kingdom, but how these animals attained such features is not well understood. Here we report the sequencing a...

Open AccessAlpha-fetoprotein inhibits autophagy to promote malignant behaviour in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has been recognized as a key regulator of cell proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, whether AFP functions in cancer cell autophagy remains unknown. This study inves...
