Neuromuscular transmission inElectrophorus electricus (L.)
Le système neuromusculaire dansElectrophorus electricus est étudié avec des électrodes intracellulaires. La transmission neuromusculaire est supprimée avec D-tubocurarine (5 · 10−7 p/v) ou avec un excès des ions ...

Phylogenetic relationships between the chlorophyll a/b binding protein (CAB) multigene family: An intra- and interspecies study
The genome ofGlycine max (L.) Merr. cv. “Dare” contains a chlorophyll a/b binding (Cab) protein gene family consisting of 10 genes. The primary structures of two linkedCab genes (Cab 4 andCab 5) were determined. ...

Effects of concanavalin A on desensitization kinetics of GABA responses inAchatina fulica neurons
The effects of the lectin concanavalin A (Con A), on the kinetics of desensitization of the responses of voltage clampedAchatina fulica LP5 neuron to microperfused acetylcholine (ACh) and GABA were compared. Both...

Novel E2F decoy oligodeoxynucleotides inhibit in vitro vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and in vivo neointimal hyperplasia
The transcription factor, E2F, plays a critical role in the trans-activation of several genes involved in cell cycle regulation. Previous studies showed that the transfection of cis element double-stranded dec...

Transcription factor decoy for AP-1 reduces mesangial cell proliferation and extracellular matrix production in vitro and in vivo
Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by an expansion of glomerular mesangium, caused by mesangial cell proliferation and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which eventually leads t...

Characterization of 4-O-methyl-ascochlorin-induced apoptosis in comparison with typical apoptotic inducers in human leukemia cell lines
Apoptosis can be induced by various stimuli such as the ligands of death receptors, chemotherapeutic drugs and irradiation. It is generally believed that chemotherapeutic drugs induce mitochondrial damage, cyt...

Ring-Sp1 decoy oligonucleotide effectively suppresses extracellular matrix gene expression and fibrosis of rat kidney induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction
Tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the consequence of an injury characterized by the accumulation of excess collagen and other extracellular matrix components, resulting in the destruction of the normal kidney arc...

Contribution of guanine exchange factor H1 in phorbol ester-induced apoptosis
Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) treatment induces erythroblastoma D2 cells kept in suspension to undergo RhoA-dependent contraction and to become proapoptotic, while attached cells are induced to differe...

p210Bcr−Abl desensitizes Cdc42 GTPase signaling for SDF-1α-directed migration in chronic myeloid leukemia cells
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a lethal hematological disorder caused by the p210Bcr−Abl oncogene. Previous studies have suggested that p210Bcr−Abl transformation contributes to homing and retention defects, t...

MMP-9 from sublethally irradiated tumor promotes Lewis lung carcinoma cell invasiveness and pulmonary metastasis
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) associate with tumor progression and metastasis. We sought to investigate the role of MMP-9 from sublethally irradiated tumor in accelerated pulmonary metastasis of Lewis lung ...

Autocrine/paracrine mechanism of interleukin-17B receptor promotes breast tumorigenesis through NF-κB-mediated antiapoptotic pathway
Gain of function of membrane receptor was a good strategy exploited by cancer cells to benefit own growth and survival. Overexpression of HER2 has been found to serve as a target for develo** trastuzumab to ...

Open AccessIgf1 and Pacap rescue cerebellar granule neurons from apoptosis via a common transcriptional program
A shift of the delicate balance between apoptosis and survival-inducing signals determines the fate of neurons during the development of the central nervous system and its homeostasis throughout adulthood. Bot...
