Efficient expression of bioactive murine IL12 as a self-processing P2A polypeptide driven by inflammation-regulated promoters in tumor cell lines
Interleukin 12 (IL12) is a heterodimeric proinflammatory cytokine that has shown promise as an anticancer agent. However, despite encouraging results in animal models, clinical trials involving IL12 have been ...

Open AccessAssociations of coffee consumption with markers of liver injury in the insulin resistance atherosclerosis study
Coffee consumption has been associated with reduced risk of develo** type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) however, the mechanism for this association has yet to be elucidated. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (N...

Predicting the development of the metabolically healthy obese phenotype
The metabolically healthy (MHO) and unhealthy obese (MUHO) differ in terms of cardiovascular risk. However, little is known about predicting the development of these phenotypes and the future stability of the ...

The association of alanine aminotransferase within the normal and mildly elevated range with lipoproteins and apolipoproteins: the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study
Markers of liver injury, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), have been associated with atherogenic lipoprotein changes. We examined the extent to which this association was explained by insulin resistance,...

The association of inflammatory and fibrinolytic proteins with 5 year change in insulin clearance: the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS)
Insulin clearance may decline as an early mechanism compensating for deteriorating insulin sensitivity. However, no previous studies have investigated the association between subclinical inflammation or impair...

Proinsulin-to-C-peptide ratio versus proinsulin-to-insulin ratio in the prediction of incident diabetes: the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS)
Associations of proinsulin-to-insulin ratios with incident type 2 diabetes have been inconsistent. The use of C-peptide as the denominator in the ratio may allow for better prediction because C-peptide concent...

Risk of type 2 diabetes among individuals with high and low glomerular filtration rates
Metabolic abnormalities frequently develop prior to the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. However, it is not known whether GFR predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes.

A caspase-dependent cleavage of CDC25A generates an active fragment activating cyclin-dependent kinase 2 during apoptosis
The cellular level of the CDC25A phosphatase is tightly regulated during both the normal and genotoxic-perturbed cell cycle. Here, we describe a caspase-dependent cleavage of this protein at residue D223 in no...

Differential mitotic degradation of the CDC25B phosphatase variants
CDC25 phosphatases control cell-cycle progression by dephosphorylating and activating cyclin-dependent kinases. CDC25B, one of the three members of this family in human cells, is thought to regulate initial mi...

ALTERED MONONUCLEAR CELL IMMUNE RESPONSE IN WOMEN EXPOSED TO DES IN UTERO
In utero diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure results in long term reproductive consequences. Preliminary evidence suggests a link between prenatal DES exposure and long term alterations in the immune system. To ...
