RanBPM is an L1-interacting protein that regulates L1-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase activation

A yeast two-hybrid screen using the last 28 amino acids of the cytoplasmic domain of the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 identified RanBPM as an L1-interacting protein. RanBPM associates with L1 in vivo and the N-terminal region of RanBPM...

Caspase-2 primes cancer cells for TRAIL-mediated apoptosis by processing procaspase-8

Although caspase-2 is believed to be involved in death receptor-mediated apoptosis, the exact function, mode of activation, and regulation of caspase-2 remain unknown. Here we show that protein kinase (PK) CK2 phosphorylates procaspase-2 directly at...

Therapeutic potential of antibodies against FZD10, a cell-surface protein, for synovial sarcomas

Genome-wide expression profiling revealed overexpression of the gene encoding frizzled homologue 10 (FZD10), a cell-surface receptor for molecules in the Wnt pathway, as a potential contributor to synovial sarcomas (SS). Northern blotting and...

Stable gene transfer and expression in human primary T cells by the Sleeping Beauty transposon system

The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is a nonviral DNA delivery system in which a transposase directs integration of an SB transposon into TA-dinucleotide sites in the genome. To determine whether the SB transposon system can mediate stable...

Electrogene transfer of an Epstein-Barr virus-based plasmid replicon vector containing the diphtheria toxin A gene suppresses mammary carcinoma growth in SCID mice

Experimental mammary cancer therapy in mice was conducted using electrogene transfer of a non-viral EBV-based plasmid vector (reduced size of the oriP gene), containing the DT-A gene. Because the EBV-based plasmid vector exhibits high transfer...

A role for cyclin A1 in mediating the autocrine expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in prostate cancer

Elevated levels of cyclin A1 expression have been implicated in acute myeloid leukemia and in male germ cell tumors. However, a role of cyclin A1 in tumorigenesis of prostate cancer has not been reported. In the present study, expression of cyclin A1...

Triplex targeted genomic crosslinks enter separable deletion and base substitution pathways

We have synthesized triple helix forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) that target a psoralen (pso) interstrand crosslink to a specific chromosomal site in mammalian cells. Mutagenesis of the targeted crosslinks results in base substitutions and deletions....

Apoptosis Induced by a New Member of Saponin Family Is Mediated through Caspase-8-Dependent Cleavage of Bcl-2

OSW-1 is a new member of cholestane saponin family, which is cytotoxic against many types of malignant cells. The present works showed that OSW-1 induced apoptosis of mammalian cells in a concentration- and time- dependent manner. The drug-induced...

Bruton's tyrosine kinase: cell biology, sequence conservation, mutation spectrum, siRNA modifications, and expression profiling

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is encoded by the gene that when mutated causes the primary immunodeficiency disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency (Xid) in mice. Btk is a member of the Tec family of protein...

An NCAM-derived FGF-receptor agonist, the FGL-peptide, induces neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival in primary rat neurons

The Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM) plays a crucial role in development of the central nervous system regulating cell migration, differentiation and synaptogenesis. NCAM mediates cell-cell adhesion through homophilic NCAM binding, subsequently...
