Myofibroblasts from salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinomas promote cancer invasion by expressing MMP2 and CXCL12.

Histopathology 66(6) , 781-90, (2015)

Salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is one of the most common malignant tumours in the oral and maxillofacial region, and has high aggressive potential. Tumour and stroma interactions are critical in determining the biological characteristics of mal...

Cannabinoid 1 receptors in keratinocytes attenuate fluorescein isothiocyanate-induced mouse atopic-like dermatitis.

Exp. Dermatol. 23(6) , 401-6, (2014)

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by an impaired epidermal barrier function combined with a chronic Th2-type inflammatory response and an intense pruritus. Here, we used an experimental mouse model for Th2-type contact hypersen...

Identification and characterization of D-xylulokinase from the D-xylose-fermenting fungus, Mucor circinelloides.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 360(1) , 51-61, (2014)

D-Xylulokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of D-xylulose in the final step of the pentose catabolic pathway to form d-xylulose-5-phosphate. The D-xylulokinase activity was found to be induced by both D-xylose and L-arabinose, as well as some of the other en...

TMEM16A is a Ca(2+) -activated Cl(-) channel expressed in the renal collecting duct.

Acta Physiol. (Oxf.) 212(2) , 166-74, (2014)

In the renal collecting ducts, ATP stimulates a Ca(2+) -activated chloride current. The identity of the channel responsible for the current under physiological conditions is not known and it was hypothesized that TMEM16a is a relevant candidate in the renal c...

NADPH oxidase-independent formation of extracellular DNA traps by basophils.

J. Immunol. 192(11) , 5314-23, (2014)

Basophils are primarily associated with a proinflammatory and immunoregulatory role in allergic diseases and parasitic infections. Recent studies have shown that basophils can also bind various bacteria both in the presence and the absence of opsonizing Abs. ...

Transcriptome assessment reveals a dominant role for TLR4 in the activation of human monocytes by the alarmin MRP8.

J. Immunol. 194(2) , 575-83, (2015)

The alarmins myeloid-related protein (MRP)8 and MRP14 are the most prevalent cytoplasmic proteins in phagocytes. When released from activated or necrotic phagocytes, extracellular MRP8/MRP14 promote inflammation in many diseases, including infections, allergi...

Characterization of mesenchymal progenitor cells in crown and root pulp from human mesiodentes.

Oral Dis. 21(1) , e86-97, (2014)

Mesiodentes are usually found in the central position of the upper or lower jaw as supernumerary teeth. Here, we obtained 10 mesiodentes and three permanent teeth (PT) and separated the dental pulp (DP) from these into crown and root portions. We then charact...

Microbiological safety of the first clinical pig islet xenotransplantation trial in New Zealand.

Xenotransplantation 21(4) , 309-23, (2014)

Xenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine microorganisms and the development of zoonoses. Among all porcine microorganisms porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) represent a special risk becaus...

Influence of UVB exposure on the vitamin D status and calcium homoeostasis of growing sheep and goats.

J. Anim. Physiol. Anim. Nutr. (Berl.) 99 Suppl S1 , 1-12, (2015)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVB) on vitamin D status, intestinal calcium absorption and bone metabolism in growing sheep and goats. The hypothesis was that growing sheep and goats are able t...

Immunologically augmented skin flap as a novel dendritic cell vaccine against head and neck cancer in a rat model.

Cancer Sci. 106(2) , 143-50, (2015)

Local recurrence is a major clinical issue following surgical resection in head and neck cancer, and the dissemination and lymph node metastasis of minimal residual disease is relatively difficult to treat due to the lack of suitable therapeutic approaches. I...
