Regulation of cytochrome P450 2e1 expression by ethanol: role of oxidative stress-mediated pkc/jnk/sp1 pathway.

Cell Death Dis. 4 , e554, (2013)

CYP2E1 metabolizes ethanol leading to production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and acetaldehyde, which are known to cause not only liver damage but also toxicity to other organs. However, the signaling pathways involved in CYP2E1 regulation by ethanol are ...

Quiescent sox2(+) cells drive hierarchical growth and relapse in sonic hedgehog subgroup medulloblastoma.

Cancer Cell 26(1) , 33-47, (2014)

Functional heterogeneity within tumors presents a significant therapeutic challenge. Here we show that quiescent, therapy-resistant Sox2(+) cells propagate sonic hedgehog subgroup medulloblastoma by a mechanism that mirrors a neurogenic program. Rare Sox2(+) ...

Cooling-increased phospho-β-arrestin-1 and β-arrestin-1 expression levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Cryobiology 65(1) , 12-20, (2012)

Cooling induces several responses that are modulated by molecular inhibitors and activators and receptor signaling. Information regarding potential targets involved in cold response mechanisms is still insufficient. We examined levels of the receptor-signalin...

Regulation of double-stranded RNA dependent protein kinase expression and attenuation of protein synthesis induced by bacterial toll-like receptors agonists in the absence of interferon.

J. Interferon Cytokine Res. 32(10) , 495-504, (2012)

Double-stranded RNA dependent protein kinase (PKR) is a host defense enzyme whose expression is up-regulated in response to interferons (IFNs) and during viral infections. Increased levels of PKR can result in its activation, which, in turn, inhibits global c...

Regulation of constitutive vascular endothelial growth factor secretion in retinal pigment epithelium/choroid organ cultures: p38, nuclear factor κB, and the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2/phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase pathway.

Mol. Vis. 19 , 281-91, (2013)

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a major source of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the eye. Despite the role of VEGF in ocular pathology, VEGF is an important factor in maintaining the choroid and the RPE. Accordingly, the VEGF is constitu...

Novel mithramycins abrogate the involvement of protein factors in the transcription of cell cycle control genes.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 84(9) , 1133-42, (2012)

The effects of mithramycin SK (MSK) and demycarosyl-3D-β-D-digitoxosyl-mithramycin SK (DIG-MSK; EC-8042), two novel analogs of the antitumor antibiotic mithramycin A, on gene transcription were examined in human HCT116 colon carcinoma cells by quantitative re...

Elucidation of the DNA-interacting properties and anticancer activity of a Ni(II)-coordinated mithramycin dimer complex.

Biometals 26(1) , 1-12, (2013)

Mithramycin (Mith) forms a drug-metal complex with a 2:1 stoichiometry by chelation with a Ni(II) ion, which was determined using circular dichroism spectroscopy. Mith exhibits an increased affinity (~55 fold) for Ni(II) in the presence of DNA compared to the...

Cortisol induces aromatase expression in human placental syncytiotrophoblasts through the cAMP/Sp1 pathway.

Endocrinology 153(4) , 2012-22, (2012)

One of the dominant effects of glucocorticoids in triggering parturition in certain animal species is to drive the placental conversion of progesterone to estrogen. However, in the human placenta, estrogen is formed using dehydroepiandrosterone from the fetal...

Cooperation of two bifunctional enzymes in the biosynthesis and attachment of deoxysugars of the antitumor antibiotic mithramycin.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 51(42) , 10638-42, (2012)

Two bifunctional enzymes cooperate in the assembly and the positioning of two sugars, D-olivose and D-mycarose, of the anticancer antibiotic mithramycin. MtmC finishes the biosynthesis of both sugar building blocks depending on which MtmGIV activity is suppor...

Sp1 and Sp3 are involved in the full transcriptional activity of centromere protein H in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

FEBS J. 279(15) , 2714-26, (2012)

The overexpression of centromere protein H (CENPH), one of the fundamental components of the human active kinetochore, has been shown to be closely associated with human cancers. However, the mechanism of its transcriptional regulation has not been reported. ...
